5:45am ~ I roll out of bed ~ stumble into the bathroom to get dressed. The circles under my eyes remind me that I tossed and turned all night ~ note to self ~ need more sleep. I can pretty much guarantee that sleep will evade me tonight, too ~ you see, the LOST finale is on tonight. My brain tail will be sorting out all the possible theories all night long. I blame J.J. Abrams for coming up with all of these twisted sci-fi shows that make you waaaaay over analyze the show. And ~ as if not enough brain cells are already dedicated to sorting out the plots of HEROs and LOST, now I have FRINGE to look forward to in the fall ~ I can already feel the pull of the vortex sucking me into another sci-fi drama!

By 6:15am I was in my hover craft ~ which BTW averaged at 50 MILES to the GALLON over the weekend ~ backing out of the garage. I am navigating down the driveway ~ using my side mirrors to prevent me from hitting the Jeep parked on the other side of the driveway. Then ~ I see something totally unexpected reflected in the mirror ~ a cute lil bunny crossing the driveway to the safety of the front yard foliage. Later ~ as I am driving on the feeder road to the freeway I see a beautiful hawk perched high on a utility pole, the perfect vantage point to spot road kill. So how do these two unexpected sightings tie into one another. What message were they sending to me today ~ a day where I already feel completely spent and it's not even 7:30am yet!

Referencing my Native American animal totem document ~ these are what the animals represent:

Lacie's MRI

My Chiari Brain Tail ~ The difficulties of Chiari (pronounced key-ARE-ee) go beyond balance, as a lack of space at the base of the skull pushes the cerebellum and brain stem into the upper spinal canal, placing pressure on the spinal cord.

I have set up this blog in an attempt to keep friends and family posted as I embark on this new journey that I have been commissioned to take. Bear with me ~ along with my experiences, you will likely find some random ramblings about my latest passions, too. Here's my e-mail address if you want to drop me a line sometime: lemorrison70@gmail.com

Hope In You

Courage

Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavor, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions. ~ Aung San Suu Kyi

Leave Your Cares To The Sea

To Be Fully Human

To be fully human is to believe in something or someone,
to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and
somehow put one foot in front of the other until you manage
to find your home again.
~ Oprah Winfrey

Ancient Buddhist Blessing

May no one who ever meets me have a meeting of little consequence. May the simple fact of our meeting assist in the fulfillment of their wishes. May I be a lamp in the darkness of life, a home for the homeless and a servant to the world.
